and it is said that several days during
the past week the temperature in the
rooms has reached 120 degrees, and
no less than eight Of the clerks were
overcome by the heat and had to be
conveyed to their homes. When the
building was constructed, the rooms
upon the uper floor were not intended
to be occupied by clerks, but were
intended as file rooms. The health
authorities have been appealed to with
the hope that they will come TO the
rescue of the clerks who are doomed
to work in such uncomfortable quar-
ters.
The Presidents letter to the mayor
of St. Louis revoking his acceptance
Of an invitation to visit that city dur
ing the annual encampment of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, has
been generally discussed here during
the past two or three days. The
friends of the President insist that he
has pursued the proper course in view
OF the abuse that he has been sub
jected to since his acceptance of the
invitation. It is probably however
that the St. Louis incident will not
interfere with the Presidents contem-
plated western trip, as he has received
numerous invitations from other
western cities, and has upon several
occasions expressed a desire to visit
the west during the summer, in case
he finds it possible to do so without
interfering with his official duties.
! A very interesting and valuable ad-
dition to the exhibits Of the National
Museum has been made by Mr..
Thomas Wilson who for many years
was Consul TO Ghent, Belgium. The
exhibit comprises without doubt ths
most complete and valuable collection
of antiquarian relics, ever gotten to-
gether by an individual and aside
from the great expense incurred by
Mr.. Wilson, he has devoted all Of his
time during the past five years to the
study and classification Of the relics.

The Jackson boom which now is
assuming such proportions as to seem
likely to land that clever gentleman
in the Gubernatorial chair should set
St. Mary's democrats to thinking if
there is not a possibility OF Comp.
trollcr coming from our county.
Prince George, Charles, Calvert, all
have good positions and no considera-
hle Office has yet been given to St.
MAry's. Southern Maryland is en-
titled to a place on the ticket and
in the event Of Jackson's nomination
if man like Col. John F. Dent or
William A. Loker is strongly pressed
by our delegates the prize might and
We hope will fall to the county.

In view of the strong fight being
made in the primaries for the honor
ot representing the st. Mary's democ-
lacy IN the Baltimore Convention and
the apparent absorption Of everything

bent upon the Convention to place in

why is He Not Happy?

When Fred Falsestep was Is year
old he married girl from his mothers
kitchen. She was pretty at the time
with the beauty incidental to youth, red
checks, white teeth, bright eyes, trim
figure. After the regulation family row
Falsestey, ST., died. He left $40, 900 to
his son. Fred, being an energetic per-
son, went into business. In the course
Of years he finds himself worth couple
of hundred thousand dollars. He keeps
abreast Of the literature of the day, and
sometimes finds time to read the classics.
Without being a heavy literary swell, he
thinks and talks likd decently educated
gentleman. His wifc's mental faculties
have stood still, while his have matured
and improved with years. Many of
Falsesteps family acquaintances stick to
him in spite of his matrimonial blundcr.
After visit from the women of such
households, Mrs. Falsestep greets her
husband with, "Them Strightback girls
were here this afternoon. You never
seed how plain they were dressed" She
wonders why Fred is not interested in
his old friends and doesn't ask her ques-
tiOns concerning them.
Mrs. Falscstep devoteIly loves her
husband She thinks him the wiscst
man on earth. When she persuades him
to drive in the park with her-and a
more brilliant spectacle than Mrs.
Falsestep attired for an outing it would
be hard to tind-shc rattlcs on in this
way: ''Did you hear them cars, Fred!
Where does them go to? Here's Mr.
Oldstylc. Amt he awful? You amt
looking the right way. This carriage
comin's his'n."
But Falsestep's wife is as true as steel
to him. She would gladly die for him.

Irish Pats Gauop.

A little group, largely composed OF
the genus tout, was sitting in front of a
stable out at the Chicago swapping
yards, when one of them said:
"Did you ever hear how Irish Pat
was given gallop at Louisville 2"
"No." came in chorus from his in
terestcd listeners.
"Well, then, I'll tell you. One morn
ing Mr. Corrigan came out to the track.
bright and early, and, af er seeing that
several of his string were given then
morning exercise, he put coon upon
Irish Pat with orders to give him slow
gallop, and off the coon started. In the
meantime some gentlemen came along
to whom Mr.. Corrigan got to talking,
and SO interested was he that he forgot
all about Irish Pat. Keeping up the
conversation they finally adjourned to
the stable, and they sat and chatted for
over an hour. Suddenly little coon
came rushing eXcitedly from the track,
and, without waiting to catch his breath,
he said:
"Mr. Corrigan, Mr.. Corrigan Dat
boy he like to know like he haben t
done gibbcn Irish Pat gallop nutfl"
"You can bet there was rush for the
track about that time, and Irish Pat
was taken to the stables in hurry
The boy, when questioned, SAID he 'dld-
nit keep no count o5 how many times
the horse went round, but he reckoneed
dat he done gone and gallop him elgh-
teen miles for snRh.
